Title: Gallery shortcode, questions Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Gallery shortcode, questions * [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-shortcode-questions-1/) * I am using the WP](http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/05/creating-an-image-gallery/”>WP) gallery shortcode and I have a couple of questions. * 1) I know that I can use this code `[gallery id="123"]` to attach as a gallery the photos in post 123. Since I am using pretty links, I don’t know what my post or page IDs are. From where do I find out my post or page Ids? * 2) In a particular page I have added a gallery of 10 photos. Then, in the same page I want to add another photo, but not inside the gallery. When I upload the new photo WP puts is immediately in the gallery. If I remove it from the gallery, WP also removes it from the media library. How do I remove it from the gallery without removing it from the media library and from the page/post? Does it mean that if I have created a gallery on a page/post every future photo I want to put in that page will be added to the gallery mandatory? * Thanks for your help!
